A shaky bars rotation spelled doom for Mizzou gymnastics Friday night, as it fell from the ranks of the unbeaten. No. 4 Alabama came to the Hearnes Center and took care of business, leaving with a 197.225-195.500 victory.
A packed house was on hand to watch the matchup of two of the nation’s best, and the night started with a bang when Britney Ward tied her career high on vault with a 9.95. That mark ties her for fourth in program history on vault.
“There was so much energy in the building, so I was really pumped before I went, and I was ready to just go have some fun,” Ward said.
